Lemon Balm's citrus fragrance is a wonderful garden treat and this plant can provide a nice foundation planting and background for more colorful plants. It should be grown in partial sun or shade with average, well-drained soil to a size of 2' deep. A versatile herb, it can be used in cooking, teas and skin cleaning.
